| FORT WILLIAM HENRY HOTEL.
CALDWELL, LAKE GEORGE n. Y, Sept. /.
| Returning here found the most exquisite OF
weather, clear and sunny, but cool enough for
fires to be very comfortable and they have burned
brightly in each OF the public and private parlors
on all the cooi mornings and evenings, and some
| times during the entire day. so many are the
attractions, out doors as well as within, that the
company has continued large, and Washington
has been well represented. The beautiful lake
trout sent from the Fort William Henry Hotel
Monday morning by express to President Cleve-
land in Washington, was quite sensation here on
Sunday evening. 1t was caught by Mr.. Plain, OF
Washington, who had gone on the lake in Mr..
Roessle's boat, and weighed twelve pounds. 1t
was the finest specimen OF fish ever saw; every
tint OF color about 1t was perfect. 1t was laid on
large sheet OF white paper on the counter In the
| hotel office, and there was q crowd OF admirers
OF whom many were ladies, around 1t all the tune
until 1t was removed. The fish was received at
the Arlington by Mr.. Bennett on Tuesday, and by
| him presented at the White House, and before 3
| p. N. that day came telegram from washington
| announcing that the President accepted the fish
and sent his thanks to Mr.. Plain, to whom he
would write personal letter OF acknowledgment
1 am told that this was much larger than the
average lake trout caught in August, Thich rarely
weigh over eight or ten pounds, not being so big
as those captured in the spring.
